Method
- For the chicken, put all the ingredients (including the chilli, if using) in a freezer bag and massage the chicken all over with the oil, pepper, salt and rosemary. Refrigerate for 2 hrs or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 4. Remove the chicken from the freezer bag and transfer to a roasting tray. Cook in the oven for 40-45 mins, until the juices run clear when you insert a skewer into the thickest part of the leg meat.
- Meanwhile, make the fries. Peel the potatoes and slice into matchstick-sized piece. Add the oil to a large frying pan, wok or deep fat fryer then cook on a medium heat for around 15 mins until the fries become crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with a piece of chicken.
